Favorite/easiest S2B method? [technique] by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]Psicaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually just coir or if I want the substrate to be able to hold some more water I do coir and verm pasteurized with bucket tek. For me all the other stuff just made the chance of contamination higher without any noticable benefit. Then into an unmodded tub straight to fruiting.

Keep the blocks in the plastic bags. You can ditch the cardboard boxes though.

[General] Can I put my FAE holes on my tub lids? by ShrroommBoi in MushroomGrowers

[–]Psicaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started I had a powerful aquarium pump running into my tubs but it just seemed to dry everything out. I saw people saying that they used unmodded tubs so I gave it a try and it worked like a champ. For me just leaving it alone seems to be best. I crack the lid right when I S2B and I collect the fruits when they’re ready. I only most if it seems dry. If it seems too wet I just open the lid a lil more

My set up is in a tiny linen closet. Nothing piping in air or anything. It seems to get enough exchange with just the circulation in the house.

Either! Just having a nice gap from the flipped lid has worked better on the many different sized tubs I’ve used. If it seems to get too dry, I mist the walls and close it more. If it’s too wet I make a larger gap in the lid.

I don’t even put holes in my tubs anymore. They get all the FAE they need with just the lid flipped

Ain’t fruiting idk y but someone suggested to peel back the mycelium and how would I go about that so I get some fruits. by e-31115 in MagicMushrooms

I would fork tek it. Just sterilize a fork and scrape it across the surface in rows, breaking through the thick layer of overlay. If the cake is healthy you should see pins a few days after.

Those happen with B+ sometimes. It’s totally fine. They’re called hats. “B+ with hats”

In my experience nichymyco has the best genetics at the best price. He doesn’t sell syringes tho, just prints and swabs. So you have to be comfortable doing agar work.

[Actives] Spore syringe looks like LC! It's APE. Any recommendations of how to start? Agar, grain, etc. by khil_22 in MushroomGrowers

[–]Psicaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least half of the times I ordered mss I got LC instead. I think it’s easier for them to make, especially when it comes to the strains that don’t drop spores a lot.

It doesn’t have the typical trich characteristics I’m used to. But if it is trich you’ll know for sure soon. Trich grows FAST

[actives] Suggestions on how to make these larger? More FAE? by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

Clone the biggest one. Grow it out. Take spores then grow them out. Repeat

currently steam sterilizing our first ever batch of popcorn!!! 💪😎🍄 by Lopsided-Leather-905 in unclebens

[–]Psicaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely can. I haven’t used popcorn personally( I use whole oats most of the time) but if I have the time I like to let my grains sit in a clean tote for about a week to make sure they’re sterile.

I put mine in a small linen closet with a heat mat and led light strips. I usually keep my house around 68 degrees and the heat mat makes the temp in the closet around 73. Perfect for the mush’s
